Janice de Belen, a Kapamilya actress, has stated that they would never work together in any of John Estrada’s projects.

This is what the actress emphasised when she and her daughter, Kaila Estrada, brought up their mother-daughter bond and how they preserve a solid family relationship.

We saw it on the Mother’s Day edition of Jeepney TV’s “Biyaheng Retro 2.0,” which aired on May 10, when Kaila asked her mother whether she could still work with her father, John Estrada, and her ex-boyfriend, Aga Muhlach.

The renowned actress’s strong answer “Aga, yes, I would be open to working with him. To your dad, no.”

Kaila questioned as to why Janice no longer wished to be with John, but she agreed with Aga.

The actress said, “Alam mo kasi, hindi kami naging mag-asawa ni Aga, so it’s different than… the relationship is different.

“It’s different with your dad kasi naging mag-asawa kami. Yung disagreements namin were not tiny disagreements.

“The reason for us separating, it’s not a tiny thing, it’s not just a disagreement. So many hurtful things, so many hurtful words have already been exchanged,” The actress went on to clarify.

He’s worried they’ll just be a production issue, “And there’s a reason why we’re not exactly friends.”

“With everything that has happened between both of us, we might be an inconvenient to the people we are working with and working for.

“Baka maging problema kami, so huwag na lang kaming maging problema at all.

“And you know, we’re fine, we’re civil. You’re grown-ups, and if you need anything you can go straight to him, di ba?” she added.

Janice continued, “On my part, before, I had been through much more prior to the decision of separating than after.

“Because parang na-used up na lahat ng pain ko, lahat ng pain capacity ko and tears ko. Parang nagamit na through the whole process how things got to separating.

“So, by the time I decided, I was calm, I was ready for anything that’s why it was more on you. And I figured, your recovery, the way you kids will recover will depend on how I recovered.

“Kasi kung nakita niyo ako every day, umiiyak, or troubled, or yung hilo, or parang nababaliw, du’n kayo mas mahihirapan.

“And I wanted to make sure that I would be okay na humarap na ako sa inyo para ang iwo-worry ko na lang, kayo, hindi na yung sarili ko,” said the award-winning actress.

Janice and John married in 1992 but divorced in 2001. In 2004, their marriage was declared null and void. They have four children: Inah, Moira, Kaila, and Yuan.

Janice and Aga have another kid, Luigi Muhlach, who is now 35 years old.
